Vanessa L. Malcarne’s Testimonial on NO!
March 24, 2008
“NO! is a thoughtful and thought-provoking documentary that powerfully expresses the complexities of sexual violence within the Black community. NO! prompts viewers to question longheld assumptions about women’s experiences of and responses to sexual violence, but then moves beyond that to explicitly challenge viewers to take action and break the silence that has allowed sexual violence to devastate individuals and communities. Watching this excellent documentary is a powerful and somewhat painful experience, but one that ultimately leaves viewers informed and empowered. I selected NO! as a featured film for the 2008 Association for Women in Psychology film festival, because of its focus on women, social justice, and activism, because it’s an outstanding film, and because I knew that it would have a powerful impact on the audience. People are still talking about it!”
